A meme from Hermione via Abby before I leave for 2 weeks R&R


Tomorrow I am off to France. I am staying in a town I know, in a holiday home I have been to with hubby (and with my son and nephew). We have had lots of holidays there, but this will be different. This time I am going on my own, and though I have a girlfriend joining me for a few days, mostly it will be just me. I have my friends and their family their to have fun with, but this will give me time and space. Hopefully the weather will be kind, I will be able to swim, walk, cycle, sunbathe, eat, drink and just be, in a safe place where I can think.

Meantime, I leave you with this meme that I got from Abby and she got from Hermione. I will post over the next couple of weeks if wifi permits, otherwise I am back on 15th June.

  2. I think a nice 2 weeks of vacation will be just what you need to relax and begin to find some answers. Not all of them... but a few , just a few.
    Enjoy France and all the time you have !
